Transpersonal Counselling in Chelmsford

Hello, I help with both short term Counselling for life issues which can cause stress and anxiety, such as loss, change, bullying, feeling stuck etc. and longer term Psychotherapy for issues which have their roots in your past, including; Low self esteem, Depression and learned unhelpful patterns of behaviour. Working together we create an environment of trust, empathy and support where you can safely share your concerns for understanding and resolution.

Most people choose therapy at a time when they are experiencing a “crises in meaning”, “crises in ego” or "crises in relationship". This is a call to action. Whether the struggle is to do with a relationship, depression, anxiety or adjustment to change, the person has a desire to find resolution or relief. This is a necessary process in the path toward psychological maturity, humility and self-acceptance. Therapy facilitates this process. ​I am a senior psychologist, in practice since 2005. I am trained as a Child & Family Mediator and completed a specialisation in Transpersonal Psychology which informs my approach to therapy.

I am a qualified Psychotherapist and Counsellor and together, we can work to overcome the current issues you are facing so that you can live a better life. Beyond the mental health knowledge I bring on board I aim to offer a safe, trustworthy and culturally sensitive presence in the sessions. I have worked with a variety of issues such as: anxiety, depression, emotional and cultural issues, trauma, PTSD, low self-esteem, abuse, loss, difficult life events and stress.

I have over 30 years experience working with children and adolescents in various settings. I have worked on an adolescent inpatient unit at the Priory hospital, CAMHS, pupil referral units, youth offending and currently for Five River Childcare in fostering. I also run a private practice for children, adolescents, parents and adults alongside delivering training's to teachers, social workers and carers for local councils.

Most clients that I see are suffering with anxiety, depression and stress. Most of this is caused by underlying issues such as low self-esteem, relationships issues and addiction to name a few. We're often aware of what our problems are but do not feel able to cope and need some support. Distressing situations and feelings can have such a destructive impact on our lives and therapy works by accepting your feelings, helping you to gain a different perspective, whilst challenging old negative beliefs; so you can move forward with a happier and healthier outlook on life.

Do you feel down, stuck or hopeless ? Can't see a way forward ? Or maybe a situation has left you feeling angry, sad, or overwhelmed. Maybe you have unexplained pain, Or maybe you just feel out of sorts and can't find your passion or direction in life. Whatever it is that is bothering you, i can help you with a comprehensive treatment plan that will help you move forward and restore harmony to mind and body. As well as talking therapy i can incorporate other holistic techniques such as sound, energy work, body movement, and breathwork, which can lead to a more effective outcome. I can also offer therapy in nature or online.

I understand that seeking counselling can be daunting, but I have experienced it to be very rewarding for many people. As an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor I can offer a confidential, safe and stimulating space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and personal story. Being client-centred, I tailor therapy to your needs as an individual and work with what you decide to bring to each session. 'Integrative' means that I draw upon different models according to you the client.

We offer intensive residential treatment with 24-hour nursing and medical care alongside psychological, psychotherapeutic and psychiatric services all within a caring and stylish homely environment.

I will bring my knowledge, skills and approach to the sessions, you will bring your issues, some courage and desired outcomes. Together, we will unpick the matters you bring at different levels to reach the outcomes to them that you seek (and deserve!). There are always reasons and moments that lead us to be like we are-my role as a therapist to you is to enable you to be how you want to be & bring comfort when life is rough with you in the form of compassion & understanding

I offer integrative child and young people's counselling and therapeutic child and teenage support. All our children and young people sometimes go through phases where not everything is going to plan. There might have been a bereavement, exam stress, bullying or sudden life changes have had an impact on their self esteem. Your might be concerned because your child has recently become angry, anxious, withdrawn, a bit more challenging or has developed difficulties in school. Sometimes they also struggle to find good friends, put themselves at risk or their physical health becomes affected.

Hi, I'm Mary (she/her), I'm passionate about supporting people with anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and relationship issues. Is your mind constantly racing, worrying whether you said or did the right thing? Wondering if people like you? Did you make the right decision? Do you find yourself beating yourself up when you feel like you've got something wrong and find it hard to let go of things. Maybe you find it hard to stand up for yourself. Life can be so overwhelming sometimes we can feel like we don't want to be here. It's exhausting isn't it! I'm guessing you're here because you're fed up and want something to change. I can help you.

You know something isn’t right in your life, but you don’t quite know where to begin to get help. Maybe the idea of speaking with somebody feels a little daunting, or you’re concerned you won’t be able to find the words, or they won’t understand where you’re coming from. This is absolutely normal, and is what most people feel before the call a therapist to get help. Even if you’ve been to counselling and psychotherapy before, the thought of explaining your story yet again might fill you with dread. What you could really do with is somebody that gets it, that you can feel comfortable with, that can help you feel understood, quickly.
